INSTALLATION

Figure 10 (repeated) – Component, S- and Composite Video Outputs

If your receiver is equipped with digital audio inputs, then select

either

coaxial or optical digital audio input, and connect it to the corresponding

output on the DVD 38. See Figure 12. This step also applies to a

receiver that is only capable of HDMI switching and cannot process

the audio portion of the HDMI signal. If your HDMI-capable receiver

processes the HDMI audio, then do not make another digital audio

connection.

Figure 12 – Coaxial and Optical Digital Audio Outputs

If you wish to enjoy DVD-Audio discs in their native lossless format,

connect the DVD 38’s 6-Channel Analog Audio Outputs to the corre-

sponding 6-channel analog audio inputs on the receiver. This connection

is necessary because the digital content is copy-protected and

decoded by the DVD 38, with only the analog audio output available.

See Figure 13.

Figure 13 – 6-Channel Analog Audio Outputs

NOTE: When using the 6-Channel Analog Audio Outputs,

remember to adjust the Bass Management setting in the AUDIO

SETUP menu to On if the inputs on your receiver are “direct”,

meaning that the receiver does not perform any bass manage-

ment on the signal; or to Bypass if the receiver does perform

bass management on the 6-channel inputs, which may be

indicated by calling them 6-channel DVD-Audio inputs. Consult

your receiver’s owner’s manual for more information.

As explained in the Connections section, there may be several reasons

for using the DVD 38’s Analog Audio Outputs in addition to the Digital

Audio Outputs. If you wish to make recordings, to use the DVD 38 as

an audio source for a multiroom system, to play 96kHz discs when your

receiver is not capable of processing 96kHz audio, or if your receiver

is not equipped with digital audio inputs, then connect the DVD 38’s

2-Channel Analog Audio Outputs to any pair of analog audio inputs

on the receiver. See Figure 11.

Figure 11 (repeated) – 2-Channel Analog Audio Outputs

Even if you connected one of the DVD 38’s digital audio outputs to

your receiver, you may wish to connect the 2-Channel Analog Audio

Outputs to your TV (if it isn’t HDMI-capable) so that you may watch a

DVD without turning on your complete home theater system. If you

make this connection, remember to also connect one of the DVD 38’s

video outputs directly to the TV.

Step Two – Plug In AC Power

Having made all of your wiring connections, it is now time to power

up the DVD 38. Plug the AC Power cord into a working, unswitched

AC outlet. See Figure 14.

Figure 14 – AC Input for Power Cord

Step Three – Insert Batteries in Remote

The DVD 38 remote control uses two AAA batteries (included).

To remove the battery cover located on the back of the remote, firmly

press the ridged area and slide the cover towards the bottom of

the remote.

Insert the batteries as shown in Figure 15, making sure to observe

the correct polarity.

Figure 15 – Remote Battery Compartment

When using the remote, remember to point the lens toward the front

panel of the DVD 38. Make sure no objects, such as furniture, are

blocking the remote’s path. Bright lights, fluorescent lights and plasma

video displays may interfere with the remote’s functioning. The remote

has a range of about 20 feet, depending on the lighting conditions.

It may be used at an angle of up to 30 degrees to either side of the

DVD 38.

If the remote seems to operate intermittently, make sure the batteries

have been inserted correctly, or replace all three batteries with fresh ones.
